So, who just bought that cap #1?

[Mmanick]

Cap #1 is my top grail too, but brittle pages would have stopped me.

 

Yeah, can no longer read it. I wonder what the seller had the book in to keep it maintained. Still a cool book either way.

I'm bumping this thread because this same book is now in the comic link auctions and it is currently up over double what the BIN price was on ebay. Why o why o why did I hesitate on that one?!?!?!?

Sold for 8k! Im kicking myself for not seeing that ebay sale.

Probably not kicking yourself as much as the original eBay seller is now.

That's what my wife said! Travis, you love Cap --do you own any part of a Cap #1 anymore?

[NTHstars]

Holy profit margin Batman!!

No I don't, as far as Golden Age goes, I'm down to just a Cap #3

[Chicago Boy]

That's as close as you can get! I have NO DOUBT you will get yours one day

I hope so, I'll be hitting the flea markets here every weekend looking!

That's insane. A chopped up brittle coverless copy for 8K! I can't see a rag like that ( sorry, but that's what it is) being worth 15% of a 2.0, and that's being generous. Are we going to see folks asking 50K for a GD copy now?

Anyone have an idea what Cap #1 cvr in say 4.0 would be worth?

[Chicago Boy]

Just the cover? Do you have just a cover?

[kav]

Just the cover? Do you have just a cover?

No, sorry I should have made that clear-my buddy and I were discussing this sale and he said he'd like to even own just the cover and asked me what a fair price might be.

[Chicago Boy]

I'd like to own just the cover too......I own a CGC slabbed cover of All-American #16 (Unrestored) I paid 3k for it in 2013 if that gives you an idea? I know a Batman 1 cover went for 2,500 in 2014.....

[kav]

WHY can't I just stumble on one of these things at a yard sale???

[mystrymachine]

I can't spend a bundle of money on a book that looks like it came out of the trash. Even if they put lip stick on it. I just can't do it.
